This Week In Trucking

How Smart Carriers Stay Profitable


Listen Later

85 to 90% of trucking companies don't make it past 18 months. Bo Prock has spent 21 years figuring out why โ€” and what the ones who survive do differently.
In this episode of This Week in Trucking, Bo Prock, Operations Manager at Eagle Logistics (38 power units, 140+ trailers), breaks down the operational disciplines that separate profitable small carriers from the ones who burn out chasing revenue. We cover cost per mile, cash flow, contract freight vs. load boards, driver retention, when to buy new vs. used equipment, why dash cams are the best ROI investment in trucking, and how AI is already changing fleet operations.
